Since last summer, the El Paso Times has had to keep its newfound celebrity under wraps. Now, with the release of Ridley Scott's latest film, The Counselor, the El Paso Times can admit to sharing screen time with the likes of Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Cameron Diaz.

At the time of the film's release in October, El Paso Times editor Bob Moore had this to say on his Facebook page:

"Now that "The Counselor" has opened, I'm free from a non-disclosure agreement and can explain a photo that surfaced last summer. The Times was approached by the producers to provide a newspaper with a specific headline that would be important to the plot. Carlita Montoya produced the design and Armando Durazo wrote the text of the story (working on guidance from the producers.)"
